Minecraft Server Hosting

People often run Minecraft servers from their computers, using their CPU, RAM, and Bandwidth. This is fine if it is only a few people, but if you want even a small sized server then it is best to have someone host your server.

Benefits

• Creating your own Minecraft server could take countless hours, but if you have someone to host it for you then you can just relax while they have your server up and running within minutes.
• If you are running an entire server off of your own RAM, bandwidth and CPU it can be very taxing on your computer. With someone else taking care of yourserver upkeep than it will almost never go down and you do not have to worry all the time about checking your server status.
• Customer service is very important, especially if you want to run a big server. There are many people who do not know much about Minecraft, or computers for that matter, so they desperately need customer support. Can you do that job alone? The answer to that question is most likely no. So, you need someone to take care of this aspect for you. When looking for someone to host make sure that they provide customer service!
• Another great perk to getting a hosting service is Mcmyadmin. Mcmyadmin is a web interface and control panel for Minecraft servers. You can monitor all of the activity that is going on in your Minecraft server! It is an amazing tool that can save you hours of time and make you the true Admin of your server!
• Also, Ping is a very big factor when looking for a hosting service. If a the hosting service you pick is thousands of miles away from you, then your ping is going off of the charts, causing crash after crash. Make sure that the service is near you!
• Make sure that your server hosting service has SSH/SFTP Access. With SSH/SFTP Access, it makes it much easier to change your server securely, and add mods. It is a very useful tool that no Minecraft Admin should go without.
• A money back guarantee is also very useful, just in case something goes wrong, which I have never had happen, you can grab your money and run with it, or restart with another server hosting server.
